I'm not so sure it was deliberate, he was pushing very hard at that point on tyres that perhaps hadn't fully warmed up.

I don't think it was deliberate. He could have easily just binned it in to the wall there.

Here's the best video of Rosberg's journey I've found at the moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtIruI__RtQ

In slow motion it looks fishy, but in real-time its tough to call.

He played a lot with his steering wheel before he went off :zz:

GP2 is next. Expecting a massive pile-up...

Deliberate. Dirty of him. Now I hope he doesn't win the title. He probably wouldn't either because Lewis is probably better.

Just seen the Rosberg incident. Not sure what to make of it, he seems to move the steering wheel a lot before he locks up.

He probably tried to slide the car so that it would seem he saved the car by countersteering to the left into the runoff.

I think he's just wrestling with a car that won't go in to the corner.

If he wanted to deliberately mess up Hamilton's lap he just needed to keep it straight and nudge the barrier. I don't think Rosberg is that kind of driver and Hamilton is looking like a really spoilt kid.

Yeah. If you're going to do that this doesn't seem the best way. It is possible to lose the rear of the car there...

Gah, I really hope Nico is found to have done nothing wrong by the stewards. Hamilton is such a ****. It's just a constant stream of c**p that comes from his bouth. Deal with this like Senna? What, take him off?

And his comments earlier in the week about 'hunger'. That is somewhere Lewis should look at Senna. He was from a wealthy background, did that effect his hunger?
